He Was at Lust Banished From His Favorite Haunts. ng to historical aceounts Val- lid, in Yucatan, has been the the- of remarkable events in days not distant. Itis asserted, on the au- of the church, that the place was once haunted by a demon of the eharacter, called ‘‘a demonio par- »” or talking devil, because he held sightly discourse with any who chose to a him, answering like a parrot. never visible he seems to have a merry sort of devil, dancing, fsugbing, playing on guitars and casta- After a time he took to throwing into houses, pelting people with slandering honest folk—in short, the whole town by the ears to an extent that the Bishop of Mer- {ds was obliged to interfere, and forbid sny one to speak to the demon under of severe spiritual punishment. It ig related that when the people ab- from any further communica- fon with him the demonio wept and wailed, and finally took revenge by purning houses. At this alarming junc- ture the cure was compelled to seek di- yine assistance, and after a long tussle succeeded in ousting the devil, who fled tothe woods. In an official report the pious Dr. Sanchez de Aguilar says: ‘‘An WW sunt of mine, one day vexed with fhis devil, said to him, ‘Go Fout of my _ house, thou evil ose.’ And she gave him a “plow on the face that left his nose red- der than cochineal. Forty years after- ward, when I was a cure of the same 'dity, the demonio returned to infest “some of my annexed villages, especially Pthat of Yulcoba. He always came at “midnight or at one o’c'ock a. m., with a _great whirlwind, dust and noise as ofa hurricane. Stones swept over the en- tire pueblo, and though the Indians promptly put out all the fires in their kitchens, even this did not avail, for from the flames with which the devil himself was tormented proceeded flashes like mighty comets or wandering stars, which did fire two or three houses at once, and spread so rapidly that there were not people enough to put them out. I, being sent for to come and drive him away, conjured the demon with the faith and zeal that God gave me, and com- manded him not to enter that village again, whereupon the fires and the whirlwind ceased, to the glory and A VERY SOLOMON. How a Sagacious Russian Judge Discovered a Culprit. That the race of judicial Solomons is not quite extinct in the nineteenth cen- tury, even in Russia, is evident from the following ingenious device imagined by one of them to discover on which side truth and justice lay in a rather difficult case that came before him recently, says a St. Petersburg correspondent. In the university town of Dorpat a prosaic plodding burgher complained to the “judge of the peace” “that he had been defrauded by the defendant of twenty roubles (£2)." “I bought a cow from him—he is a peasant—your Honor,” he explained, ‘‘and I first paid for the ani- mal, and then asked him to drive it from the market place into my yard. This he agreed to do. Well, when he had the cow close by my house he re- fused to budge a step further unless I paid him twenty roubles, saying that he had received nothing from me. This was a lie, because I paid him the money a few minutes before.” ‘Where are your witnesses?” asked the judge. “Witnesses! I have not a single wit- ness. What are the witnesses for? Doesn’t he know right well that I paid him?” “Did he pay you the money?” asks the judge of the defendant. ‘I never saw the color of it, your Honor, I didn’t. Why, if I had, do you think—” “That will do,” exclaimed the judge; “the plaintiff's claim, unsupported by witnesses or evidence of any kind, is null and void. He seems an honest fellow, though, and has evidently lost his twenty roubles. Let’s make up a little subscription for him. I head the list with five roubles. Won’t you give something, too?” inquired the judge of the defendant who had won the suit. “That I will,” eagerly exclaimed the triumphant suitor, ““with a whole heart. Will three-roubles do? Here’s the note.” The judge took the three- rouble note daintily, examined it critic- ally, looked suspiciously at the do- nator, and said: ‘‘You dare to utter false money in an imperial court of justice! Have you any more notes of this des- cription? This is a very serious matter indeed. Where did you get this forged money?” The peasant turned red and white and yellow, gave a series of ex- planations that contradicted each other, muttered and mumbled and floundered about from lie to lie, till at last, in des- pair, he cried out, “If you want to know the whole truth, here itis: This here What Her Laws Mean and Accomplish If quette, and says she will not be bound by its rules, is the one you may be cer tain who does not possess the virtue of consideration and who makes friends only to lose them.

You have been to a large party where a house was decoratel with many flow- ers; you remember as you left the sup- per room that it looked a scene of confu- sion, and you wondered when it would ever return to its normal condi- tion. It is demanded that you shall make a cail and tell your hostess of the pleasure she has given you. Again, etiquette respects comfort and claims that your call must be made within two weeks of the day after the dance; so that by this rule the household has time to return to its usual state before there is an influx of visitors. You have just told Dick that you will be his wife; and the one thing you dread is the giggling and staring to which you will have to submit because in the small village in which you live the kindly thought of the dignified lady, Madame Etiquette, is either forgotten or not appreciated. Now, be wise and take some married friend into your con- fidence; let her give a tea or a luncheon and invite your girl friends, and at it she willsay, putting herarm around you, “I want you to wish Lillian all the hap- piness possible, because in a very short time she is going to be married to Mr. Richard Steele.” So the story is told at once, and all the little embarrassments, the inuendoes and the embarrassing wonderment are done away with.

PALACE CAR MANNERS. a How to Enjoy All the Pleasures and Lux- urles of Modern Travel. Do not rush in and grab the first seat F yousee. Enter leisurely and quietly, E as you would if the parlor were not on » wheels. Bow pleasantly to the porter and give him a quarter. Be not over particular about seats, as it will indicate you do not travel'often. Say languidly, ‘Oh, anywhere on the shady side,” and hand the porter half a dollar. He will give you a good seat, depend upon it. Unless you are an experienced trav- eler, the disposition of your extra wraps may bother youif you attempt to do it yourself, besides exhibiting your igno- rance toa whole car load. Nod at the porter in a familiar sort of way, slip half adollar into his hand, and in a jiffy he will have every thing out of your reach and securely fastened on, in and among all sorts of contrivances which you had not even observed. If you are so unfortunate as to need the presence of a cuspidor, do not go hunting around the car for one. That is exceedingly vu'gar. Contrive to drop iw a two-dollar bill in the porter's pocket, and the cuspidor will be forthcoming. In all probability the car will be as hot as an equatorial conservatory. It generally is. If you attempt to raise a window, the chances are you will fail, as you are not familiarwith the secret spring which holdsit. Recline lazily on’ your chair, and watch the porter until you catch his eye, when, with a slight move- ment of your little finger, you sigh with the rapid flight of a five-dollar bill from your pocket to his, and ina few seconds you will be enjoying adelightful breeze, free from dust and cinders. Should you become thirsty, you can go to the water cooler and take a little without extra charge. When nearing your journey's end, the porter will re- mind you of the fact, and stand before you, hatin hand. Accompany him to the alcove, and adda few bills to his purse, if he can find room for them. The vigor of the brushing you receive will depend entirely on the denomination of the dills. Ttisno longer considered necessary to back out of a parlor car in order not to offend the porter. Hand him your pocketbook, and he will immediately take your and _ precede you to the platform, and most likely will bow politely as the train moves off.—Jury. How to Go Up Stairs. “I saw two girls with their escorts walking up Corey Hill yesterday,” says an observer of girls. “One of them went up like a rubber ball, bouncing and bounding at every step, chattering briskly to her companion as she went, and stopping now and then to panta little and take a fresh start, both with her bounding way of walking and her chatter. Presently her friend came quietly along. She was letting the young man beséfle her do the talking, and she was mounting the long hill with short, elastic steps. She used her heels as well as her toes in going up aill.” It is a good rule for hill climbing and one to be remembered in going upstairs. Women doctors say, and —heel and toe alike—put firmly oneach Stair, one may arrive at the top of four flights of sta‘rs really rested, instead of fasping for breath, as when one runs up | Stairs. Going upstairs is a good form | of exercise if one goes at it in the right say to get its benefits.—Boston Trans Many women prove it in practice, that | by going upstairs slowly, with the foot | notes, and that’s one of them. It comes to what I said, that he didn’t pay me atall, and it’s he that must goto Si- beria for uttering forged notes, not I. I am as innocent as the babe unborn.” The judge condemned, then and there, that innocent peasant to refund the twenty roubles, for the notes were really as good as the best that circulate in the empire of the Czars. THE PRECIOUS METALS. Statistics of Their Production in the United States In 1890. Edward O. Leech, the Director of the Mint, has submitted to Congressa re- port on the production of the precious metals for the calendar year 1889, from which the following figures are taken: The gold product of the United States was 1,587,000 fine ounces, of the value of $32,800,000, against $33,000,000 during the preceding calendar year. Of the gold product of the United States, $31,959,047 was deposited at the mints for coinage and manufacture into bars. The silver product of the mines of the United States for the calendar year 1889 was approximately 50,000,000 fine ounces, of the commercial value of $46,750,000 and of the coining value of $64,646,464, against an estimated pro- duct for the calendar year 1888 of 45,783,632 fine ounces, of the commercial value of $43,020,000 and of the coining value of £59,195,000, an increase over 1888 of about 4,216,368 fine ounces, of the commercial value of $3,730,000. In addition to the ver product of our own mines about 7,000,000 ounces of silver were extracted from lead ores imported into the United States and smelted in this country, and over 5,000.000 ounces from base silver bars imported, principally from Mexico, making the total product of our mines, smelters and refineries about 62,000,000 fine ounces of silver. The total value of the gold deposited at the mints during the calendar year was $48,903,072, of which $42,599,206 were new deposits and $6,303,866 redeposits. The total deposits and purchase of sil- ver aggregated 36,297,564 standard ounces of the coining value of $42,237,- 165, of which 36,074,212 standard ounces of the coining value of $41,977,265 con- sisted of new deposits. The quantity of silver purchased for the ‘silver-dollar coinage was 27,125,357 fine ounces, cost- ing $25,379,510, an average value of 93.56 cents an ounce fine. The amount of sil- ver offered the Treasury Department for sale aggregated 47,965,700 fine ounces. The net loss of gold and silver to the United States by excess of exports over imports of the precious metals was as follows: Gold, $38,886,753; silver, $14,- 788,666; total, $53,675,419. The total metallic stock of the United States is estimated to have been as fol- lows: Gold coin and bullion, ), 275,- 007; silver coin and bullion, £458,388,624; total, $1,127,663,631.— Washington Let- ter. Honesty Rewarded. “I'd like to git tru8ted fur about two dollars’ wuth of stuff,” said a colored man toa grocer on Beaubien street the other day. “You! Why, I don’t know you,” was the reply. “But my name is Thompson.” _ “Yes, but being named Thompson is not enough.” “Hu!

And you wonder what the world will say to you. My poor girl, the well-trained world says nothing; your friends come to see you, you re- ceive your invitations, and nobody makes you feel conscious of what has happened. This is not hard-heartedness; it is con- sideration. To utterly ignore a disgrace for which the innocent suffer is the kindest lesson that Madame Etiquette has ever taught. She is even wise in dictating the hours for making visits; to your girl friends she suggests any time between three and sjx o’clock—which gives you an op- portunity to have entirely finished up whatever you wish todo in the morning, to have your luncheon or dinner, and to be busy only with book or fancy work after three o’clock. To your men friends, from eight to nine is the proper hour at which to appear; then the cares of the day are over and you are at lib- erty to entertain in the way you think best. To shrug your shoulders at what eti- quette demands is simply to announce yourself very ignorant, for her laws, properly observed, mean protection for the innocent, consideration for the young, congratulation for the happy.— Ladies’ Home Journal. The Reautiful Rainbow Rose. Among the newest varieties of roses is the rainbow rose, which is not ready yet to be placed in the market, as its value as an outdoor plant has not been sufficiently tested. It takes about three years to fully test a new variety of rose before it is ready to be placed in the market, two years for it to acquire its full growth and perfection in the hot- house, and another year to acclimate it and judge of its hardiness. The rain- bow rose has not yet completed its pro- bation period, but is a beautiful variety. It receives its name from its varying tints, shading from a deep crimson on the edge of the petals through red to an exquisite pink. The old and steady varieties. which have stood the test of time, are much sought after, and do not give way to the new varieties. There are the beautiful pink La France, Mer- met and Bon Silene roses, the cream Safrana, the rich crimson of the velvet- petaled Jacqueminot, the yellow Perles and Marechal Niels, and the waxen white Nephitis buds. The Bon Silene is gradually giving way to the Papa Gontier variety, a comparatively new rose, which has emerged triumphant from its three years’ probation. The best roses for planting in cemeteries are the Van Houttee (white) and the Sou- venir de Malmaison (pale pink), as they bloom steadily and profusely.—Balti- more Sun. —Chinese doctors are very partioular about the distinction being very strictly kept up between physicians and sur- geons, and would not trespass on one another’s ground for the world; but this delicacy of feeling has a rather disas- trous effect on the patient’s pocket sometimes.
